Its just a thought

I understand we are just guessing - we are not Google.
But if your assumption about datacenter is correct, then AdWords tool is mostly of no use.
Let's say Mike in Canada wants to buy some AdWord traffic of the French people who are searching for the 'visit Canada' (he wants to milk the French tourists for money in Canada - legal wish).
So, Mike wants to see how many people in France are searching 'visit Canada' via Google.
Forget it, Mike, You cannot do that! Because Google will show you and your potential visitors in France different search demand, as different datacenters show different results. The Frech search demand for 'visit Canada' that you see from your place can be several times different from the real search demand in France.
"But", says Mike "I do not care about datacenters! I want to see how many people in France search Google for 'visit Canada'! Google tool has necessary options!"
Sorry Mike, tough luck. Google has too many datacenters. Better take the info from the stars, or go through the meditation cycle, open your chakras and the universe will tell you the necessary search demand.
P.S. So, if the assumption about datacenters is correct, then ladies and gentlemen, your attempts to use AdWords for geo targeted purposes are just a dream.
